I like the horror movie references sprinkled in throughout. The kids won't pick up on them, but any parents watching with them will- and will probably get a chuckle out of those little nods.
No FU for Mr. and Mrs. Reed for sending all of Arthurs friends home IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? Just because they wanna punish him... why the heck would they cancel the sleepover as the result?? It's probably like... 12am or late by this point when they return from their party? Are they going to go and call and wake up the other parents and make them get their kids? Drive them home at 12am and just hope the parents will wake up to answer the door?? That's really unfair to do those poor kids so late at night imo.
@@mattneff I feel like a lot of Arthur's friends parents would be sooo livid, having to get their kids because the Reads can't parent their damn four year old.
David and Jane Read should start leaving DW all alone at home instead of allowing her to do trick or treating. In fact, Halloween is more better without Demon Worshipperfred Read!
I like to imagine Nana was the one who suggested "mime" costume to the Tibble twins as a plot to finally get them to *shut the hell up* for an hour or two.
Couple things: Cow mummies were actually a thing. The were called the bulls of Osiris and would be fattened up the whole year, then a parade would happen and they would be butchered and mummified and sent to a special tomb with a massive bull shaped sarcophagus. Second: Why would people not like the Edgar Allen Poe house, looks awesome.
17:03 shows how terrible David and Jane Read are as parents. I thought DW might have been the one pulling the prank on Arthur due to how awful a sister she is. So glad DW is NOT my sister, and that David and Jane Read are NOT my parents.
Didn't expect to get nostalgic for 2017 of all years, but I remember catching this specifically on it's premier, specifically because I was watching it with my younger cousins at my Grandma's House during her Halloween party Rest in Peace, Grandma
Creepy talking doll? It could've been the Arthur/Twilight Zone Crossover we didn't know we needed! _"My name is Tina the Talking Tabby, and I'm going to kill you.."_
@@mattneff no lie The twilight zone scared me as a kid right down to the theme song. Even the bumpers had me cringing in my sheets at night just remembering the guy surrounded by silence screaming "somebody's looking at me please help me!"
@@terraceavery4125 Exactly. They always seem to take DW's side over Arthur's. What're they F**KIN' STUPID? Why are they so dimwitted to not listen to Arthur's side of the story? I know why, because they DON'T have the brains to do so. I believe the Frenksy parents, & Brain's parents are the smart ones in their own families.
@viviennemorgan7217 the parents already know the exact time when to do those things because they have alarms on their phones and don't need a call from their 8 year old
Its hard to believe that Arthur and his friends are about 8 and 9 when they act more closer to 11 to 12 year olds , Charlie Brown and Lisa Simpsons look more how 8 year olds would look
The prank at the end by Grandma Thora and Baby Kate was funny to mess with Arthur and DW by using their own prank back on them. So yes it does work with teaching a lesson.

SO NICE TO SEE KINGNUSMI IN THIS!!!!!! i loved seeing you in his disney halloween movies video! also, i still haven’t seen this arthur special to this day. 😭
In fairness, I don't see Edgar Allan Poe stories as a homework assignment but that's just me I read them for fun. I wish I had a teacher like Ratburn who would do that for a neighborhood haunted house. It sure beats staying in this year by myself. To clarify its not scary it's just kind of boring. But great video as always, it really brightens my Halloween 🎃🎃🎃
Sadly David couldn't speak because he had done his own "trick or treating" with Mr. Ratburn earlier in the day. He ended up getting laryngytis after screaming and deep throating Mr. Ratburn's Tootsie roll for many hours 😏
@@lifewithlee6298Of course he knows that: The fact that Ratburn married an aardvark who works as a chef is the whole inspiration for the idea that Ratburn and Mr. Read have a secret affair (because Mr. Read is Ratburn's "type").
I'm surprised that Muffy's parents didn't make the whole neighbourhood to ring at their door so Muffy didn't have to go anywhere for trick and treating.
YESSSSSS OMG THIS IS JUST THE HALLOWEEN TREAT I NEEDED P.S: 12:05/12:36/12:44/13:35/19:28 AHHH THEIR LITTLE CHARACTER ICON IS SOOO SUPER CUTE!!! It makes me soo happy! 🥰🥺
I think I like this Halloween episode better than the other too so far. Though “What Scared Sue Ellen” and “Fernkenstein’s Monster” should definitely count as Halloween specials and I found them much creepier.
The Reads were never at Mr.Ratburn's house at all it was someone else's Halloween party. Plus Binky was trying to prank Mr.Ratburn. Mr.Ratburn's haunting house based off of Eager Allen Poe's work is classic gold.
I think part of why some people forgot about this special was because it doesn't have a title card which is different from standard episodes, like "Arthur's Perfect Christmas" has for example. Even I never really watched it until last year. Though I do think it is a fairly non-conventional episode in itself, even if it doesn't have any songs as other specials do.
@ Basically Prunella’s locker needed to be fixed, and she was assigned 237 for a while. Fern then tells her about a boy named “Jack Murphy” who only went to Lakewood for a single year, when the school just opened, and also had the locker. The locker had strange sounds and stranger smells. Bad things happened to Jack Murphy before he disappeared. The locker is alleged to be haunted, but she finds out the truth (not spoiling it here.)
Honestly that this point DW should be in every horror movies like alien and honestly she be dead once the alien especially the facehugger gets her first
And it's not like DW was scared for life i mean would they have done it if it wss just a whoopee or joy buzzer. If abything the Residents of Fostes prank on Bloo was far worse and Bloo there is more sympathic then DW as he was fighting out of self defense
I am also confused by the existence of this episode. I recently looked up all the specials and this one slipped by me, so there you go. Throwing my suggestion again for Busters Garden of Grief for a group FU
Baby Kate gets her first FU ever... and she isn't even two! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Even Grandma Thora wasn't immune to the FU treatment this time around... Mr. and Mrs. Read should have gotten an FU instead of Thora for siding with DW instead of listening to Arthur and cancelling his sleepover party on Halloween night
To be fair, Arthur could've ended and prank by bringing the doll out of his room and not stoop to D.W.'s level. The mom did make both of them apologize before going to bed.
@@danayar3925Exactly! For all the grief fans give DW for her behaviour I feel Arthur can act no better when it comes to dealing with her but it's more prominent in the earlier seasons. An example I can name was when Arthur spent half the episode manipulating DW to try and get her to like spinach with one attempt involving him and Francine feeding Kate spinach and calling her a big girl for eating it while calling DW a baby for not which I'm pretty sure caused her resentment of Kate in the go to your room episode. Not only was he stopping down to her level but he was also bringing their little sister into their conflict
The kids entering the houses of strangers on Halloween tracks. That was basically the plot of the Arthur's Halloween book. The old "the witch in the creepy house is really a lonely old lady that wants to throw a party for the kids" plotline. Which, of course, they stole from Fat Albert, and the Berenstain Bears would steal for a book and a cartoon based on it as well.
4:02 oh hell no! if I find a doll and their name is written in red “Ink” I’m putting that thing right back where I found it and racing over to my local church to wash my hands in holy water just for safe measure
If you ask me, I think DW being pranked by Arthur & Scared by her OWN ‘Annabella’ Doll TRICK & Baby Kate & Grandma Thora’s Trick Serves as KARMA For all the MEAN & NASTY TRICKS She’s PULLED On Arthur for 20 years!
Even though it’s been a few years since I’ve actually seen Arthur. I remember watching this and actually enjoyed it. I honestly don’t mind the Flash / HD era of Arthur with a few exceptions I.E “So Funny I Forgot To Laugh”
@@mattneffbut after you said about the Read parents siding with DW “as usual” I kind of realize that Arthur does have many flaws plus your whole FU series of Arthur character kind of changed my view on the entire show. Maybe one day I’ll give Arthur an episode ranking rewatch.
I've rarely seen the older episodes since PBS kids always aired: so funny I forgot to laugh, the one about Martin Luther King jr, DW's 5th birthday or whatever it's called and the one where they introduce ladana
15:53 Wait a second. There was an Arthur episode where he had a crush on his babysitter, and they played a Dark Bunny video game where he fought cow mummies. So, in-universe, does this mean that the game was a crossover between two established franchises? Eh. I'm probably overthinking it.
HI stagehand. Loved your commentary on this video. I did want to point out that Muffy wasn’t referring to New Orleans style pralines as S tier candy. She was talking about Belgian chocolate pralines. Those are pretty bougie.
I wonder if Grandma thora was just like DW at her age judging from the prank she pulled with Kate at the end. Arthur better pray Kate doesn't let the toxic household have an influence on her or he might end up with another demon spawn sister when he turns 16. But I agree with Matt I think Thora's costume is great with her being the wolf dressed as the grandmother and having baby Kate dress as little red riding hood.
Something I don’t get is why any of the Tough Customers had intentions to TP Mr. Ratburn’s house at this point. By this point, they had basically given up on any sort of mischief. Also I personally don’t mind DW in this special. One upping Arthur’s cheap trick with an actually clever prank is something I have to respect.
@@DKCfan10 Most episodes are out of order. So it’s plausible this special took place before “The Last Tough Customer” before the Tough Customers themselves decided to give up bullying or causing mischief.

Happy Halloween Everyone! 🎃What Halloween prank would you pull on DW?
Drive by
I would get a new snow ball and have it haunt her and traumatize her for life
@@mattneff I would prank DW by giving her a Chucky or Tiffany doll that would come to life and try to kill her as a joke.
Swapping her Crazy Bus CD with
Marilyn Manson and turning it
on full blast!
Banishing her to Antarctica. But then I’d be afraid of her joining forces with John Carpenter’s The Thing and destroying all life on Earth.
I like the horror movie references sprinkled in throughout. The kids won't pick up on them, but any parents watching with them will- and will probably get a chuckle out of those little nods.
Definitely! They got a chuckle out of me 😆
I loved horror movies as a kid so I would've noticed
What about the whole premise of 3 stories and a treehouse setting, is it just me or did Arthur rip off The Simpsons annual Halloween event
No FU for Mr. and Mrs. Reed for sending all of Arthurs friends home IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? Just because they wanna punish him... why the heck would they cancel the sleepover as the result??

David and Jane Read should start leaving DW all alone at home instead of allowing her to do trick or treating. In fact, Halloween is more better without Demon Worshipperfred Read!

More like Dora Won'tfucking Read. 😂

Thanks for reviewing this, guys!
And FU to Mr and Mrs Reed for taking DW's side without letting your son explain
Like i've said, The Read Parents are idiots
Oh definitely! 💯
@@mattneff That's par for the course
And FU the writers of this special for letting the kids know that going inside the stranger's house is safe.

Correction, they were called the Apis Bulls. Still related to Osiris.
The cow mummies just remind of of the video game _Dark Bunny IV: Curse of the Moomy_ in "Crushed."
In their universe they're just mummies.
The scariest part of this special is the Read Parents’ bad parenting
17:03 shows how terrible David and Jane Read are as parents. I thought DW might have been the one pulling the prank on Arthur due to how awful a sister she is. So glad DW is NOT my sister, and that David and Jane Read are NOT my parents.
Aren't we all 😂
@@mattneffsomehow the Arthur just want to make it seem Arthur is the bad guy seriously this show’s writing team just has a messed up mindset
Fun fact: Marc Brown has said DW is based off his sister. Makes you wonder. Lol
Honestly a whole Haunted House based on Allan Poe stories sounds rad. Kids in Ellwood don't know a good idea.
Didn't expect to get nostalgic for 2017 of all years, but I remember catching this specifically on it's premier, specifically because I was watching it with my younger cousins at my Grandma's House during her Halloween party

The Golem story is actually inspired by an old jewish folk tale. The golem from Prague. It killed its Rabbi creator
Didn't know I'd find Ratburn in a tight black t-shirt and black jeabs hot, but then this episode made itself known.
6:05 Also the second time the number was referenced, as “Prunella and the Haunted Locker”, the titular locker is numbered 237.

@@DKCfan10 Most episodes are out of order. So it’s plausible this special took place before “The Last Tough Customer” before the Tough Customers themselves decided to give up bullying or causing mischief.
Gotta admit DW was badass in this movie tho lol
The Francine story us very appropriate for her considering the Golem's Jewish origins
